The Line EVERY Army Failed to Break — Until the Canadians Tried

April 1917: Vimy Ridge. After shattering three British divisions and devouring 30,000 French soldiers, the high ground was considered impregnable. Then, four Canadian divisions—farmers, loggers, and fishermen—stood below the ridge. What happened next changed warfare forever. This is the story of how Canadian forces captured Vimy Ridge in four days, achieving what Europe's professional armies could not, using revolutionary tactics that transformed modern military operations. KEY THEMES & MILITARY INNOVATION: Revolutionary Tactics: The meticulous planning and the use of the 'creeping barrage' that broke the German stronghold. Empowering the Soldier: Training that empowered every soldier to lead, from the innovations of Arthur Currie. First Nations Courage: The role of First Nations soldiers, including the legendary *Francis Pegahmagabow. A Nation Forged: The battle that created Canada's military identity, proving that colonials could outfight the world's best. The victory came at a tremendous cost. Over 10,000 casualties, including nearly 4,000 dead. The Vimy Memorial stands today in France, bearing the names of 11,000 soldiers with no known grave. Every April ninth, Canada remembers the day it stepped onto the world stage as a nation in its own right. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more untold Canadian military history:    / @canadianfrontarchives   📜 MUSIC CREDITS Music: “Crusade” by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
